I've been stuck with massive anxiety and paranoia about the way people interact with me all my life. Ex. overthinking tiny changes in tone, a glance at something, tiny body movements, etc. to a huge degree and obsessing over that tiny thing for the rest of the day. I'm aware of how stupidly irrational it all is but I can't get past it despite trying to for years.
I'm not saying I have an anxiety disorder, since I've never gone for a diagnosis of any kind, just describing the everyday things that I have to obsess over. It's a pain in the ass.
credit to kingdestroyah for putting what i go through into words

"okay, then tell me when this sorta thing ends"
when i was 14, basically going through middle school i was the same every time someone laughed, i thought they were laughing at me everytime someone whispered, i thought they were whispering about me everytime someone looked at me i felt like they were judging me i wore a jacket all the time, not because i was cold, but because it was like a shield i could hide behind because i was so insecure
then in high school and going into marching band and stuff and learning how to drive gave me huge confidence boosts basically to be able to drive you HAVE TO have confidence or else you're not going to be able to drive you will hopefully grow out of it |

let me elaborate my comment, i actually was trying to say something lol: once you realize that people really don't care as much as you think, you will be able to fit in much easier. Go to social gatherings, start a conversation, try to fit in. You will be fine. |

"it's kinda edgy but it worked :(" thats not edgy at all, its just facts; until you find someone that appreciates you for who you are. |
